i'm not gonna take the time to read through this thread but shes right about the FOBs. american asians are fine but the fobs don't really understand traditional american manners. they cough and blow their nose od loud in the shower and while on the toilets, they don't flush toilets, they make mad noise mad late on weekdays, they don't hold doors or say thank you for holding it for them, they talk loud in quiet places, slurp soup, etc....

i feel homo for complaining about this shit but its just what i've noticed while at school. she came off condescending and not so politically correct but she was kind of right.

Every race does this, I mean really "make mad noise mad late on weekdays" who doesn't?

I meant in the hallways at like 4 in the morning. They live in the rooms next to me and they hang out in the hallway clanking pots and laughing od loud. It might not sound that bad but it happens pretty much daily

if they're doing this, the best course of action might be to ask them for a little bit of whatever they're smoking

How am I being ignorant? I'm saying I've had similar experiences with fobs. I understand there are culture differnces and that its hard for them to adjust to american norms when all your friends are fobs too but its true. My roommates are black and a russian immigrant. They both agree with me, I'm not trying to offend anyone but if you are offended then you're just being sensitive

i'm not declaring anything you said ignorant or not, eaton, but obviously virunga believes it to be. i'm expressing that the notion that he shouldn't feel some type of way just because he isn't apart of the group being ridiculed is ridiculous.

to the other guy, i'm not that sensitive (unsure if you're generalizing or making a direct statement though) -- i'm not even bothered in the slightest bc i know ppl are stupid and have stupid opinions. and i don't think she should be expelled either, bc she has a right to her opinion constitutionally.

my stance: another ignorant person said something ignorant, what's new? you can either move on and condone it, or you can address the situation. but if ppl feel hurt, they should be allowed to complain and not be told "get over it." the same way she is allowed to talk her shit

That video she made was not necessary at all, if we all want to base ignorance in this situation...it is her that's ignorant.

Out of all the littlest things she could have asked that she ranted about in the video such as: talking on the phone so loud, having bad hygiene etc..

She could have at least requested for them to use their inside voice (when she's in the library) or if she's near someone who's an asian decent (since it's about asian)could simply ask to cover their mouth when they cough.

By choosing the act that she had done, a lot of asian decent people will of course take it the wrong way. (Even me, i'm filipino) I'm not offended in any way, but i just find it so rude, and careless of her to make that video.

Not only she humiliated herself through the web, but also there has been a lot of threats towards her... her action had all these consequences towards her.

Thanks for the science lesson bro. I believe most of us are familiar with the concept of action and reaction. However the point she was making was that she shouldn't have to ask people to use their inside voice or cover their mouth. If you're attending a prestigious institution such as UCLA you should be readily assimilated to American culture and etiquette. Lastly dude, don't voice your opinion about such a touchy situation if you can't make a legitimate argument with half-decent grammar and basic writing structure.

First, all students were sent a letter on respect and integrity in our email by the chancellor. And now, I get this in the email...
